That's a great story Mike!

I couldn't agree with you more about the diversity in Boas of Brazil and that we have only seen a minute sample of what is in Brazil. Brazil is the 5th largest county in the world right after the US and covers nearly half of South America. So to say we even have a grasp on all the variances of the Brazilian Boa is a naive statement. From the different locales to the variance from East to West and North to South from Higher elevations to lower and so on. If you think about it all the lines of Brazilian Boas that have been in the US are just from basically a small hand full of animals hardly a representation of the Boa throughout its range. And you should know this best having worked with the most lines of Brazilians than anyone. It really puts a different perspective on the ongoing debate of Bcc from Guyana and Suriname two vary small countries separated by a river and not some imaginary line like so many have based there argument on. Then to think about all the biological barriers within Brazil separating the Boas to have formed distinguishing looks from other boas within the country. Anyway I think you get my point at least I hope so. LOL..

Again congrats on such an outstanding litter! Also I have checked out all your photos of the Brazilians you have worked with and bred in the past and amazing is an understatement, I just wish you were still working with some of them. Or someone else hopefully kept those lines going and they just didn't fade away that would be a shame.

Thanks for sharing the pics and info Mike!!
